The Ferry Inn is a combination hotel/pub with breakfast included on our booking. We ate dinner both nights in the pub restaurant. The food was good & they had several choices for each course. The location was excellent for the Scrabaster/Stromness ferry & it was easy to navigate to Kirkwall & all the sights.

Hotel was on the quay and is a Pub with rooms. Room we had was a family room so more spacious. Dinner was good and well priced. Kirkwall is a small town so you are near everything from this location.

Karen was fantastic, as Hotels.com had failed to book the room properly. We were offered a fantastic room which was clean and comfortable, and well located for the ferry, Stromness and the main island of Orkney. Excellent food

I highly recommend the Ferry Inn to travelers to Stromness. It is very convenient to the ferry and the staff are extremely helpful. We had dinner and breakfast in the hotel and both meals were excellent. Our room was large with few steps which was very helpful since I had mobility issues during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Enjoyed my stay. It was fireworks night and I could see the harbour display from my room window. The room was clean and the bed was a decent size for a single. The food was really good too.

Stromness Ferry Inn is the ideal location for a few days on the Orkneys. We were very happy with the location and the room. The staff is excellent and the Inn is obviously very well run. The bar is great and the dining room is not to be missed. Make your reservations early though, the place was packed each evening with locals and visitors alike. Shout out to Rose!!

Nice room, loved the custard cream biscuits. Overall very comfortable bed, clean and well presented. I would suggest blackout curtains might work better. Food and was lovely, restaurant gets busy so reservation was required, but would recommend it. Staff were nice and attentive.

Easy access from the ferry terminal and a great bar. Shout out to Euan/Ewan for his excellent whisky and gin recommendations. Bedroom was spacious and comfortable with a view of the harbour. Dinner needs to be booked in advance and is really good quality, top marks to the Chef. Buffet breakfast a little cold, which was a shame as the produce delicious.
